"Didn't I say it, Don Juan," Salvatore couldn't help but grumble, "it's too quiet here, isn't it?" ”

He had just walked through the gate, and he couldn't find a living person.

Not to mention Annan and the player, not even the servants and butlers were seen.

What's more, the whole manor was so dark that the lights weren't even turned on......

From the gate of the manor to the inside of the house, it was pitch black. Only the restaurant is lit up.

Yes, only the room where Annan and the corpse were in had a bright light.

He walked all the way in horror in the dark, and then pushed the restaurant open—and immediately found a young man as pale and silent as a doll and a fresh corpse that had just died sitting in the dim light.

And Annan looked at him without saying a word, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

The ice-blue pupils made Salvatore's heart instantly cold.

He felt almost frightened into the erosion......

"At least you turned on the lights? Are you saving fuel for Your Excellency the Viscount? The price of green fire is not expensive, right? ”

Salvatore couldn't help but complain.

Under his death, Annan reluctantly turned on all the lights that could be turned on in the manor......

"I just don't want anyone to know there's someone in this manor."

Annan sighed and patiently explained: "I have to stay here and look at the corpse, this is the most important evidence. But I don't want to, just looking at the corpse, and letting everything else in the manor disappear......"

For example, things like cash, jewelry, or tokens.

Of course, Annan did not say this.

Salvatore's face was full of surprise: "What, didn't you really kill him?" ”

From this sentence, it can be seen that although Salvatore did not see through Annan's nesting dolls, he inexplicably understood some of his inner character habits......

Annan just patted the seat next to him unhurriedly and motioned for Salvatore to sit next to him.

Later, he explained in a low voice: "It is true that I killed it, but the problem is ......

"He is a believer in the rotten man."

Salvatore was stunned when he heard this.

He slowly looked at Viscount Barb, and there was some realization in his eyes.

“…… I see, I see. ”

He immediately asked Annan, "Did you torture Alvin about something?" ”

I used to call me Lord Viscount, but now I call him Alvin.

Annan smiled silently and responded, "It seems that you knew something from the beginning. It's just that he doesn't know that he is a rotten man. ”

"That's nature. It is no secret that the Rotten Husband Church is preparing to invade the kingdom, after all, His Majesty is so old...... In other words, when the life of each ruler is approaching, the people of the rotten church will not know where to jump out, like salesmen.

"I just didn't expect that there could be people from among the nobles......"

Salvatore lamented.

Annan watched his reaction and had a guess in his mind.

Could it be that the Black Tower already knew about the plan of the Rotten Church?

So Annan asked, "Do you know which ritual they plan to use?" ”

He started with Wang Bang.

- It turned out to be a stupid roe deer.

"You mean the 'multiple sons kill each other' ritual, I know it."

Salvatore replied cheerfully: "This seemingly abnormal heir war happened too suddenly. At the beginning, we suspected that this might be part of some kind of ritual or a precursor, and among the possible rituals, the most likely one was the life-sustaining ritual of 'killing each other'.

"It's just that the kingdom's intelligence department has not been able to find even a person related to the Rotten Husband Church, so there is no way to know for sure...... But His Majesty is very smart, and I think he should have known it himself. ”

Hearing this, Annan was silent for a moment.

…… Salvatore, an honest boy, proved to Annan what it means to give for nothing with practical actions.

Annan just asked casually, and this honest boy leaked a bunch of information.

He can now easily analyze a bunch of heavyweight news from Salvatore's words......

Annan sighed: "That's right, the viscount was indeed killed by me." But don't give this information out for now. ”

"You don't have to say much, I understand."

Salvatore nodded slowly: "You are indeed a wise and kind person, Don Juan. ”

?

Wait, what do you understand?

Annan was a little dazed.

But his face was not moved in the slightest, and he just looked away in silence.

Waiting for further explanations from Salvatore.

"He is, after all, a viscount, and a vassal of your grandfather, and if he is killed by you, the official lord of the North Sea Lord, and a direct descendant of the feudal lord, it means that he is saddled with a felony worthy of death.

Then his grandson would immediately become a sinner and be put to death. And he ...... Didn't know anything, didn't do anything wrong. His only sin was being the grandson of Alvin Barber. ”

…… Speaking of which, it seems that he does have a grandson.

But wasn't he burned to death by fire?

When Annan heard this, he asked, "Where is his grandson now?" ”

"Church schools, I've already investigated."

Salvatore replied: "He usually lives in the church school and only comes home on weekends. And this illustrates another problem...... Why was he sent to a church school? ”

Annan nodded.

After making up for a while, he could already know what Salvatore meant by what he said.

It's not that church schools are bad...... At least the safety can still be guaranteed. The church school is even safer than the mansion of the nobles, after all, no one will try to attack the church of the righteous God.

However, children who have graduated from a church school can join the church directly through internal channels if they perform well. And skip the preparatory stage of the deacon's chores and start directly with the priest, the official priest who can use the arts.

It is not common for children who are willing to go out and find work alone when their good classmates and friends have joined the church and have been offered a decent and stable job.

So the aristocracy in general, in order to prevent their children from joining the church when they became adults. They will not be allowed to enter a church school "to meet friends who do not fit their identity." Instead, I will ask some excellent tutors to tutor one-on-one.

But Viscount Barber was different.

He was willing to send his grandson to a church school...... Many people also praised him for his devotion to the Silver Lord.

- But the problem is that Annan knows that Alvin Barber is not a believer in Silver Lord at all.

"This grandson of Viscount Barber should also be his sacrifice to the rotten man. The same should have been true of his two sons before him, which is why he was able to live so long...... It is precisely because of this that he does not need to think about his children's education at all, nor does he need to think about his friendship......"

Salvatore analyzed.

Alvin Sr. only had to think about "security".

Or rather, the freshness of the offerings.

Salvatore looked at Annan with some complication: "No matter who you claim that the viscount was killed, because I am here, there will be no difference in the handling of other subsequent things."

"I can help you hand over this important information to the Black Tower, and I can also escort your human and physical evidence, and I can also testify for you...... And according to the law of the kingdom, you don't have to bear any responsibility for killing sinful nobles and clergy.

"The only difference is that the grandson of Viscount Barb, the real innocent in this incident, is alive or dead. If you claim that the Viscount was killed by you, then his grandson will be sentenced to death, whether it is the grave crime of intending to murder the heir of the royal family, touching the black hand to the throne, or actually attempting to murder you, the lord and the lord......

"But if you claim, old Alvin was murdered. Then his grandson will not only not be convicted, but will be the only surviving heir, lucky enough to get Roseburg. Ironically, he originally lived as an animal, as a sacrifice, and was simply a tool. ”

Salvatore sighed and muttered in a low voice, "I guess you're complaining about him."

"My feeling is right, you are really a gentle person......"

…… Wait a minute?

Annan was a little stunned when he heard his analysis.

What you analyzed, it seems that there is some truth in it?

Is that really what I think in my heart?

- Stop, what did I think in the first place?
